O HEAVENLY
Father, whose blessed Son Jesus Christ did take our nature
upon him, and was baptized for our sakes in the river Jordan:
Mercifully grant that we being regenerate, and made thy
children by adoption and grace, may also be partakers of thy
Holy Spirit; through him whom thou didst send to be our
Saviour and Redeemer, even the same thy Son Jesus Christ our
Lord. Amen.

“Singing

Psalm
29
Ascribe to the Lord, you gods, ascribe to the
Lord glory and strength.
Ascribe
to the Lord the glory due the divine name; worship the Lord in
the beauty of holiness.
The voice of the Lord is upon the waters; the
God of glory thunders; the Lord is upon the mighty
waters.
The voice of the Lord is a powerful voice; the
voice of the Lord is a voice of
splendour.
The voice of the Lord breaks the cedar trees;
the Lord breaks the cedars of
Lebanon,
and makes Lebanon skip like a calf, and Mount
Hermon like a young wild ox.
The voice of the Lord splits the flames of
fire;
the voice of the Lord shakes the wilderness; the
Lord shakes the wilderness of
Kadesh.
The voice of the Lord makes the oak trees writhe
and strips the forests bare. And in the temple of the Lord all
are crying, “Glory!”
The Lord sits enthroned above the flood; the
Lord sits enthroned as sovereign for
evermore.
The Lord shall give strength to this people; the
Lord shall give this people the blessing of
peace.
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to
the Holy Spirit; as it was in the beginning, is now, and will
be for ever. Amen.
